Amouage Jubilation Xxv

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, sugary and rounded, closer to dessert than to fruit.

It opens on blackberry, olibanum and orange, moves through honey, guaiac wood and cinnamon, and settles on opoponax, agarwood (oud) and myrrh.

• blackberry: dark jammy berry, sweet with a tart skin
• olibanum: frankincense: dry resinous smoke with a citrus lift. Usually worth naming as frankincense instead

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
